Glowing: a strong feeling of pleasure or wellbeing. That's exactly what glo Skin Spa desires for its clients.

"If you are a man or woman, when you are glowing on the outside, that penetrates to the inside. You really portray your beauty from the inside out," said owner Meko Price.

Located on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Wackerly Street, glo Skin Spa officially opened Jan. 9, at 6225 N. Jefferson Ave., near Jet's Pizza.

"I want people to come to a place where they can feel good and leave feeling good," Price said.

The spa will celebrate with a grand opening Thursday and Friday with lots of specials.

"We provide the highest quality skin care products for anti-aging and all types of skin care by the most professional skin care experts, with the highest technology," Price said.

Registered as a medical spa, all the services offered come under the supervision of a physician.

"The services we provide are unique in that we have the latest technology in laser, in HydraFacial and then our team makes us unique," Price said.

The Midland native is a perfect example of the spa's mission. Last February, Price was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through a year filled with five surgeries and 12 rounds of chemo.

"That really changes your perspective on life," she said.

But that year of trauma has led her radiance to shine in the lives of other women who also struggle with breast cancer. In collaboration with Element22, Price conducted a fundraiser last November called "Barre for Boobs." The one-day event raised more than $7,000 for Cancer Services of Midland County.

"Our goal is to raise money for local women in the community who have breast cancer," Price said. "This would be for non-medical needs, rides, bras, mortgage payments or gas money. At Christmas we paid the mortgage for a lady, so she could buy her kids presents."
